Chapter 56: Turning the Tide (2)
The sound of the bowstring vibrating is exceptionally clear and dizzying. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Yuwentai felt that he had experienced a long wait, but strangely nothing happened, and he was still intact.
Yu Wentai opened his eyes, and suddenly saw a flash of golden light, something flying, and its speed was unpredictable. Even if there is something, it is difficult to respond in an instant. However, this thing that shone with golden light did not fly towards Yuwentai at all, and collided with the arrow shot by Zhao Gui accurately.
The heavy arrow was made of fine wood, and it was precisely because of its weight that it was suitable for short-range killing. Zhao Gui used his solid spirit and strength to shoot this arrow, but at this time he was knocked to the ground. originally hoped to repeat the scene outside Heyin City, but also dashed hope.
The thing that knocked down the arrow was a golden pill. Kanemaru was relieved of his strength at this time, and then flew out diagonally and landed on the ground as if he had been thrown down. Gao Cheng's arm holding the bow slowly fell.
Zhao Gui suddenly felt like the sky was falling in his heart, and he had never had this feeling before. Could it be that Great Wei really collapsed?
Gao Cheng didn't even look at Zhao Gui, obviously disdainful of this person. But Chen Yuankang glared at Zhao Gui angrily. used this trick three times and twice, which made him feel that Zhao Gui was not frank enough. Of course, Chen Yuankang also knew that Zhao Gui was Yuwentai's most confidant. But he treated the general Gao Cheng in such a way, and Chen Yuankang really couldn't not have hatred for Zhao Gui.
"The West Thief is abominable!" Liu Taozhi shouted angrily, he really couldn't hold back. Staring at the general, Gao Cheng just didn't give the order.
"It's no wonder that the prime minister is downcast today, people like Zhao Gui should have abandoned him a long time ago, but the prime minister values him." Gao Cheng looked at Yu Wentai and said disdainfully.
"The lord humiliates the ministers to death, is there such a person around the general?" Yu Wentai sneered.
Gao Cheng didn't look displeased at all, and played with the citrus tree bow in his hand and smiled, "Does the prime minister regard this person as a confidant or a dog?" ”
Yuwentai's tone unconsciously showed his thoughts, and Gao Cheng mocked him with this.
"Why should the lord talk to this man? Yuan Gui is willing to capture the head of the Kou for the lord. Zhao Gui was furious and stepped forward. He forgot that the purpose at this time was to drag Gao Cheng.
Zhao Gui's hatred for Gao Cheng in his heart was difficult to dissolve.
"West thief, who is afraid that it will not work?" Liu Taozhi also shouted.
In fact, the two of them did not rush forward out of concern, so they did not fight in one place, but scolded each other, which really looked ridiculous and strange.
"What does the general think of the black otter?" Yu Wentai stared at Gao Cheng persistently, "Is it a sibling brother or a stranger?" ”
Gao Cheng's gaze crossed Yuwentai and looked at Tongguan behind him, "Brother Black Otter thinks of Zihui in his heart, and he knows what kind of person Zihui regards in front of him." ”
Thinking is what you see. Yuwentai's words are appropriate to ask himself. Yu Wentai looked at Gao Cheng and looked behind him, as if something in the distance had attracted his attention, and slowly frowned, as if he had discovered something extremely tight. This made Yuwentai very puzzled.
Not only Gao Cheng, but after a while, the Eastern Wei army, including Chen Yuankang, Liu Taozhi, and soldiers, all stared at Yu Wentai. The expressions were so consistent that the Western Wei troops here were puzzled, and they all turned their heads to see what was going on.
Where the smoke and dust are billowing, a detachment of men and horses gradually appears. Behind it is the Xiongguan Arrow Tower, and when you get closer, you can see that it is actually a team of iron cavalry of the Western Wei Army. The number of people is not too large, but its vigorous state is particularly eye-catching. Who is this? Yu Wentai was also suspicious.
Closer, closer.
The flag of Caixuan is dancing, and the word "Yuan" is written on it. This is undoubtedly a clan emperor, but among the clan kings, there are no ones who can meet the enemy. Yu Wentai knew this very well in his heart, and Yu Wentai was also clear about Chang'an's lack of soldiers. Who's this? Where did this iron rider come from? How did this person get through Tongguan?
These questions are not only the questions of Yuwentai, but also the questions of all people. However, the feelings of the two Wei armies were very different. The psychology of the Western Wei army was generally comforted, and they felt like a god descending from the sky, and the sky would never stop me. And the Eastern Wei army had a sense of depression on top of the original fighting spirit, feeling that this matter was like an extraneous branch.
However, no matter what, the iron rider still came. The closer you go, the clearer you can see that the leader is a general with an indifferent expression. The general wears a scarf and wears bright light armor, which is a little powerful and polite. This person looked familiar, and he felt that his eyes were raw.
There was an unusual silence in front of the two Wei armies.
Tong Guan was behind him, majestic and majestic. The smoke and dust cast a shade of gray over the winter sky. In the dust and mist, it is even more difficult to see, and the face like beautiful jade is like reality.
"The prince of the King of Bohai, don't you know this king?" The voice is near, and so are the people. The general's mount stopped beside Yuwentai.
"Your Majesty?!" Yu Wentai finally saw it clearly, and blurted out exclaimed.
This person is actually an ingots torch? It's an ingot torch!
Time has gone back, this is not Guanzhong, not Tongguan, this is the old capital Luoyang in chaos. This is the Nanyang King Yuanbao Torch who struggled in the troubled times and tried his best to endure in the slaughter of the imperial family and wanted to save everything. Everything he had was lost, and patience was useless.
Yuan Baoju still wants to be the king of Nanyang, at least in the Nanyang palace in Luoyang, there is still a peace and beauty in his heart.
Gao Cheng has never recognized the so-called emperor of Yuan Bao Torch.
But no one has called him that for a long time. At that time, he was still an ignorant prince of the Bohai Sea, when did he become proficient in means and his heart was cold?
Gao Cheng quickly regained his expression, looked at the ingot torch, and there was a sense of disdain at the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, and he had no intention of hiding it. "King Nanyang," he said in a frivolous tone, glanced at Yu Wentai beside Yuan Baoju again, and asked with a smile, "It seems that the prime minister is no one in the country, I heard that the king of Nanyang is seriously ill and his life is not long in coming, why did he come to Tongguan?" ”
The ingot torch suddenly burst out laughing. This laughter was bohemian, and even Yu Wentai couldn't help but look at the Yuan Bao Torch quietly. The person in front of him made him feel strange, but in fact, he regarded the Yuan Bao Torch as the emperor and got along with him every day, and the Yuan Bao Torch gave him a feeling at least much more humble than Yuan Xiu. I've never seen him so.
"The prince of Bohai still has no regrets when he dies? Do you really think that Tong Guan has nothing to fear? Yuan Baoju laughed and laughed regardless of it, "Except for this Chen Changyou, there is no one else around the prince, right?" Hou Jing is willing to obey the dispatch? Belly slander is natural, and the yang and yin on the face are also for the sake of your father's high face. There is really a day when the prince of Bohai becomes the minister of the auxiliary country, without your father Gao Huan, who else is willing to listen to your orders? Why do you want to laugh at my minister of the Great Wei Dynasty? ”
Yuan Bao Ju has always been a person who can endure the governor, from the second emperor of Yongning Temple in Luoyang was killed, Gao Cheng saw him for the first time, this is the feeling. Today's high-flying and domineering appearance of not taking anyone in his eyes is really like a different person, which makes Gao Cheng frown and glare.
Yu Wentai felt a strange sense of instability in his heart. He didn't know why the ingot torch suddenly became so arrogant today. Did he pretend to be all before?
Zhao Gui is Yuwentai's confidant, but in fact, he has never taken this puppet emperor who Yuwentai has erected too much in his heart. Today, at this moment of crisis, even Yuwentai had the heart of martyrdom with death, but suddenly saw the Son of Heaven leading the iron horse to come, laughing and scolding at Gao Cheng, Zhao Gui felt extremely happy in his heart.
Gao Cheng said angrily, "The puppet on the seat dares to speak so loudly, Tongguan is lost, Chang'an is empty, and he can be so shameless." Don't blame me for taking your life and destroying your family! ”
The horse's hooves were leaping, and Gao Cheng had already led the horse forward.
Although Chen Yuankang has not made any moves, he has long been unable to bear the hatred of the ingot torch in his heart, and then he jumped out of the horse.
Liu Taozhi is not far behind.
Yuan Bao Ju raised the sword in his hand and ordered loudly, "The tiger and leopard of the Su Guard Army listen to the order, if someone takes the life of a thief today, he will be crowned the king and rewarded with ten thousand households!" ”
Zhao Gui also raised his sword at this time and shouted accordingly, "Your Majesty is personally conscripted to crusade against the Eastern Thief, and we are all willing to repay the favor of the company and the Lord!" ”
Zhao Gui hated Gao Cheng for a long time, so he made a promise.
The ingot torch had already rushed in front of Zhao Gui.
The Su Guard Army was originally under the orders of Zhao Gui, the tiger Benlang, but at this time, the emperor rewarded him with a generous reward, and the hussar general Zhao Gui took the lead again, so he naturally went to kill Dongkou one after another.
Yu Wentai turned around and looked, and at this time, he saw another team of people coming eagerly in the direction of Tongguan, from far and near.
"Prime Minister!" It was actually the general of the chariot cavalry, Yu Jin, who went and returned.
Yu Wentai was surprised at this time, but Yu Jin didn't look angry, but smiled.
"Prime Minister! Tongguan has been recaptured. The Lord came in person, the tiger and leopard rode bravely, Dongkou was defeated and defeated, and now he is scattered and fled! Yu Jin shouted loudly as he led the horse closer.
Yu Jin was originally a calm person, but his voice trembled with excitement at this time. It can be seen how important this lost and regained Tongguan is to the Western Wei Dynasty.
Yu Wentai also suddenly perked up.
Yu Jin deliberately shouted this in front of the battle. First, it can boost the morale of the Western Wei army, and second, it is to combat Gao Cheng's arrogance.
Yu Wentai silently groaned slightly, his heart settled, and he raised his sword and shouted, "The Lord himself risked the bow and arrow, and he was still in front of the thieves, how can we lag behind?" ”
Although the number of the Western Wei army was not large at this time, all of them were extremely brave because they were greatly encouraged. In particular, the tiger and leopard iron cavalry brought by the ingots torch were really fierce and made the Eastern Wei army invincible.
Yu Jin's words, Gao Cheng naturally heard them. Not only Gao Cheng, but everyone in the Eastern Wei army heard it. originally thought that Tongguan could be used as a support, and the idea of annihilating Xikou in one fell swoop was completely shattered at this time. I wanted to destroy the thief, but I didn't want to be the thief's mouth.
At this time, the arrogance of the Eastern Wei army was half dispelled, and everyone was confused, not knowing where to go or what to do.
Others are okay, Gao Cheng didn't have a good impression of the ingots torch, and at this time, he hated him even more because he hated the flesh and skin. However, this melee still did not go down according to his wishes, and seeing that the Eastern Wei army was retreating one after another, it was obviously impossible to resist.
Gao Cheng didn't care about anyone else, and in the chaos he looked for the ingot torch and rushed over.
Zhao Gui's eyes were quick, and he also rushed over to intercept Gao Cheng, "Gao thief, don't leave, Zhao Yuangui will kill you today!" ”
The ingots torch was stopped behind by Zhao Gui, and Gao Cheng couldn't get over it in a hurry, so he slashed down with a sword in front of Zhao Gui without mercy, and he couldn't wait to end his life with a sword. After a few rounds, Zhao Gui was slightly defeated. The ingot torch rushed over.
Gao Cheng's blood was surging at this time, and he attacked more ruthlessly. Although he hated Zhao Gui, he hated that the ingot torch was still above Zhao Gui. It's just that Zhao Gui is entangled, and he still has to fight one against two. I just didn't expect that the ingot torch was not here to make a show, although it was not brave and invincible, but it seemed that he didn't even care about life and death, and he had a sense of wanting to die together.
At this time, Yuwentai tripped Chen Yuankang; Yu Jin tripped Liu Taozhi.
Yuan Bao Torch and Zhao Gui are two against one, and Gao Cheng is already a little difficult.
The ingots torch did not dodge behind, and even more desperate than Zhao Gui to capture Gao Cheng. Gao Cheng needs to be extra careful between the two attacks. The two monarchs and ministers of the Western Wei Dynasty seemed to have a tacit understanding, and they attacked up and down, and Gao Cheng was stabbed in the old wound on the shoulder by a sword of the ingots torch between dodging.
After all, the ingot torch has been pampered for many years and has never been in the battle array. Although this sword stabbed it was not too important, but the wound was Gao Cheng's old wound, so it caused excessive stimulation. And Gao Cheng in order to avoid the attack of the two people again and again, and because Lian Zhan was too tired, he was so anxious that he lost his balance and fell off the horse.
At this time, Yuan Baoju's eyes were blood-red, and he wanted to pick up his bow and arrows, and shouted urgently, "The thief died today." ”
Yet he was still a step slower.
After Gao Cheng fell, he knew that he would be taken advantage of, he picked up the citrus wood bow hanging on the quiver in a hurry, and quickly took out a few gold pills.
Bows and arrows are not easy to shoot at such close range, but the gold shot is flexible and easy to move. Gao Chengsheng was fast, and several golden pills shot out one after another, and they actually hit. Gao Cheng used all his strength again, and immediately saw that the ingot torch was crooked after a painful shout, and he fell heavily from his horse. It was like something lifeless and heavy that had been thrown to the ground very hard.
"Lord!" Zhao Gui shouted, reined in the horse, and flew down.
Gao Cheng gasped and looked at the ingot torch on the ground.
The body of the ingots curled up, trembling and trembling, blood gushing out of his mouth and blood on his cheeks. It turned out that a golden pill was right in his eye, so the blood on his cheeks was blurred.
"Lord Lang!" Liu Taozhi finally got rid of Yu Jinchong and came over. Seeing Gao Cheng fall off his horse, he was like crazy, and all the Western Wei troops in front of him were hacked to death.
Yuwentai saw that it had come to this, and it was pointless to fight again, Tongguan had been lost and recovered, and the important thing was to defend it first, so he ordered to collect troops and enter the pass.
Chen Yuankang led the army to defend the general Gao Cheng, but he was finally defeated and retreated, and first temporarily returned to Xiaoguan.
It was dark at dawn, and between the vast twilight of winter, the Huayue Mountains in the distance were undulating.
The Western Wei army hugged the emperor who was carried to Tongguan and moved forward with a heavy heart. Although it was a big victory, it was exchanged for the blood of the Son of Heaven, and I don't know if this is the blessing of Great Wei or the shame of Great Wei.
Tongguan is the fertile field in the Guanzhong, and it is here that has been fought for many times. How many lives have been lost in order to save this fertile field?
The ingot torch was already confused, and he was still muttering to himself in the biting cold of winter.
"Heaven is the ...... Annihilate my beloved......" In the emperor's trembling voice, the Western Wei army finally entered the customs. (To be continued.) )
